Key Ingredients

When it comes to choosing the best ingredients for this recipe, quality matters. Opt for fresh, high-quality beef and garlic for the best flavor. And don’t be afraid to splurge on a good brand of panko breadcrumbs – they make all the difference in the texture and crunch of these bite-sized morsels.

Thyme is a versatile herb that pairs perfectly with beef, but feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile. And if you’re looking to add a little extra zing to your dish, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds beef (such as sirloin or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the beef, garlic, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, making sure the beef is well-seasoned.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and panko breadcrumbs. Toss the beef cubes in the flour mixture until they’re evenly coated.

Dip each beef cube in the beaten eggs, making sure they’re fully coated. Then, roll the egg-coated beef cubes in the flour mixture again to coat.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom.

Cook the beef cubes in batches until they’re golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Serve hot and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

These Garlic Beef Bites are best served immediately, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
